How to compare cross-border e-commerce logistics with traditional logistics?

Since last year, with the opening of pilot cities in cross-border electronic commerce, more and more businesses have started in cross-border electronic commerce. What are the differences and advantages between cross-border e-commerce and traditional cross-border trade? There are mainly the following three points:

First, the cost is low: most of the traditional cross-border trade is mainly imported/exported by importers of one country through importers of another country, and then distributed by domestic circulation enterprises at multiple levels, and finally arrived.

Enterprises or consumers in need. There are many import and export links, long time and high cost. The emergence of cross-border e-commerce directly faces the end consumers, which greatly reduces the cost of enterprises going abroad.

Second, speed: as long as overseas buyers place orders on the platform, the powerful logistics system can make the goods reach the buyers within 1-2 weeks.

Third, it is easy to get started: as long as merchants and customers can conduct convenient shopping transactions through cross-border e-commerce platforms.
